OP never made any statement of support about an amoral party using the government against the people to grant a monopoly state, the antithesis of the free market. Without the power of the state, persons like Martin Shkreli would have never been able to corner the market in that manner. Without the power of the state, persons like Martin Shkreli would be lynched by angry outliers in society seeking justice for the common man.

Indeed. The really sad part about all of this is that if the CDC actually did testing of a representative subset of the population, they would find that Americans have been infected since January. If the Chinese had bothered with a quarantine in the October-December period when it was still containable, it would not have spread.

What is VERY disconcerting is that the USA has ZERO data on the disease within its borders for a two-month period, and undoubtedly, it will be hand-waved away. As of the end of March, the CDC had tested only 459 individuals, and they scrubbed the numbers off their site a few days later. This is Soviet or Chinese communist behavior and has removed most confidence that I have had in our government of handling any pandemic.

You are on your own, America.
